Bug#452469: gnome: hang for some time at startup

[Rémi Vanicat]

Package: gnome
Severity: normal

when starting a new gnome session, different gnome part hang for some
time: the panel came with no menu nor icon nor applet except for a
launcher, the wallpaper is not there yet, an there is no icon on the
desktop.
Then after some time, the menu,  icon and applet of the panel
eventually came, and some time latter so do the wallpaper then the
desktop.
It doesn't seem to use any cputime.
I don't know which part of gnome is responsible of this, and my try to
debug it lead to nowhere (more precisely when I tried to attach gdb to
a hanging part of gnome, it seem to bring it back to life, but I'm not
sure, as I must switch back and forth from console to try it)
